Dinan Exhaust

Anyone installed/seen/heard it yet? Thoughts on how it stacks up vs Eisenmann?

I have seen and heard it in person. it sounds and looks great in person but bear in mind that only 2 tips are functional.

I have the Eisenmann and absolutely love it. Eisenmann's LeMans Tips > Dinan's black tips...

Have you considered the Supersprint?
I have heard the Eisenmann and it sounds great.
Only heard Dinan on a video clip.

I haven't - I've got a vert and don't want something too loud that would drone out sound in the car at cruising speed

I see.
Not sure how much louder the SS is?
I do know the Eisenmann is that loud though.

I have a 6MT with the 4.10 and there is more torque.
If you take the traction control off the tires really want to spin.
You do shift earlier because you naturally loose some top end and loose about a mile/gallon but in my eyes well worth it.

So many Dinan 335's in Calgary and definitely don't want to loose to one.

That said anyone with a 335 Dinan car in Calgary that wants to see you they compare don't hesitate to drop me a line.

Actually it's nothing like that at all, like I said it has a very nice tone to it...not some loud obnoxious civic sounding tone...you'll have to hear it in person.

Its about the same price as Eisenmann, about $2800

Totally agree.
Have not heard the Dinan live to compare the sound but I do know that only two of the four tips are functional.
Can't get passed that.

Not a big deal for me about the tips, if it eliminates drone while adding some grunt then it could function on a half a tip! I was going to get Ti exhaust but decided against it, maybe at a later date. Like I said I plan on doing an xpipe with HFC's so the sound will be loud enough. Just the videos of Meister exhaust sounds deafening! I am not looking to draw anymore attention to myself as I always frowned at loud vehicles, plus living in a residential area I am leaving at 6 in the morning and everyone will hear me!

The matte black will look good as I have no more chrome on my car, all black and white.

I have had similar thoughts.
Don't know anyone with a Dinan exhaust so if you find your self in Calgary I would love to hear it.
